| Abstract: | The original Master Plan for Greers Ferry Lake was first approved in December 1961. Subsequent revisions were prepared with the latest revision being approved on January 26, 1976. The Greers Ferry Master Plan (hereafter, “Master Plan or Plan”) is intended to serve as a guide for the orderly and coordinated development, management, and stewardship of all Federal lands and water resources of the project. It presents data on existing conditions, anticipated recreational use and the type of facilities needed to service anticipated use, sensitive resources requiring protection, and an estimate of future requirements. Since the 1976 Master Plan revision, development has created new and unforeseen demands on the public lands and resources of the project in the Greers Ferry Lake region. These new demands on project resources as well as naturally occurring changes to the resources, combined with the need to bring the Master Plan in line with current management practices at the project, and with new guidance and directives within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), has dictated the preparation of this Master Plan revision. This revised Master Plan presents an inventory of land resources, and existing recreation facilities, as well as revised land classifications, new resource management objectives, and an evaluation of future needs to provide a balanced Plan that serves public needs and protects resources. Included in the revised Master Plan is an evaluation of expressed public opinion, an analysis of regionally important natural resources, and an evaluation of trends in outdoor recreation. The format utilized for this plan is outlined in Engineer Regulation/Engineer Pamphlet 1130-2-550, which sets forth policy and procedure to be followed in preparation and revision of project Master Plans. The Greers Ferry Lake original Master Plan can be found in Design Memorandum 19-2 (21 December 1961); a listing of all the supplements, including Design Memorandum 19-5 the 1976 Greers Ferry Lake Master Plan revision, can be found in Appendix B. A draft Environmental Assessment (EA) and draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) were completed as part of the environmental documentation portion of the process. Both documents are included as Appendix A. Upon completion of the Master Plan revision process, if no significant impacts due to Federal action are determined, the FONSI will be signed signifying the end of the revision process. |
